Trail updates

Snow flurries in the high hills are signaling it's time to purchase your season's pass! No accumulations yet, but with valley overnight lows in the 30s, we are getting close folks. La Niña, an active polar vortex, and significant Siberian snow cover are all pointing to a winter that is both colder and snowier than average. Our summer work season started on April 2nd, and we have been busy ever since in anticipation of winter! Our crew has been rebuilding bridges, developing a trailhead, clearing trails, working on trail tread, connecting with trail events, and working on agreements and grants that all make our trails possible. Get your annual pass now before the price increases on November 1. We can’t wait to start grooming and skiing!

Trailhead shuttles

Ditch the car and let TranGO do the driving! Our local public tranportation bus service is now offering trips to the upper valley, including the Mazama trailhead. Rides are just $1 and kids are free. You can even bring your bike or skis along for the ride, and drivers can drop you off anywhere along the route it is safe to pull over. TranGO runs all day, Monday-Saturday; check out their website for route and schedule details.

Ski to the Sun

Join Methow Trails and the Methow Valley Nordic Ski Education Foundation for the annual Ski to the Sun Marathon and Relay. The course travels through North America’s largest ski trail network and takes skiers from the tranquil banks of the Methow River to the beautiful mountain vistas at Sun Mountain Lodge. Ski the race as an individual or as a relay with up to five other friends or family members. You’ll enjoy food and fun along the way! Registration for 2026 Ski to the Sun will open in September, 2025.
